Specification of. Letters Patent.

Patented June I, 1915.

Application filed August 12, 1914. Serial N 0. 856,468.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILIJAM P. WINNE, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at the city of Albany, in the county of Albany and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Iron Bedsteads, of which the following is a specification.

y invention relates to iron bedsteads, and the object of my invention is to provide a corner block for an iron bed which is simple and inexpensive in its construction, and which may be put in place by an inexperienced hand, the location and adjustment of the parts being so readily apparent and so easy of manipulation that anyone, however inexperienced or ignorant, can set up the bed quickly and effectively; together with such elements and combinations as are hereinafter more particularly set forth and claimed.

I accomplish these objects by means of the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the block. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a portion of one of the angle bars, A. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a portion of the other angle bar, B. F'g. 4 is an end elevation of the block showing the angle bar, A, and a section through the angle bar, B. Fig. 5 is a plan of the block with the angle bars in position.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

The block, E, is provided with a groove, F, into which one side, a, of the angle bar, A, rests. The bolt hole, G, in the block, E, registers with the bolt hole, 9, in the angle bar, A, when the angle bar is placed in position in the block. The block is cut away at O to permit the angle bar when placed in position with its side, a, resting in the groove, F, to be flush with the face, P, of the block. The block, E, also preferably contains a groove, H, at right angles to the groove, F, into which the side, 6, of the angle bar, B, rests. The block is cut away to permit the portion, L, of the angle bar, B, when its side, I), rests in the groove, H, to rest beneath the angle bar, A, when placed in position in the block. The bolt hole, J,

Uopiea of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by

in the block registers with the bolt hole, 7', 1n the angle bar, B. The bolt or pin, C, passes through the openings, 9, and G, and is preferably fastened with a cotter pin, D.

he bolt or rivet, K, passes through the opening, 7', and into the opening, J, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5.

may do away with the groove, H, in

block, E, because I may have the side of the angle bar rest against the end of the block instead of in the groove, which may be done by turning the angle bar so that the side, I), may rest on the top of the block and the other side, L, of the angle bar rest against the end, M, of the block.

I do not wish to limit myself to the exact construction of the parts.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A corner block for iron bedsteads proright groove for rebar placed at resting beneath the first mentioned angle bar when in position in the block.

In an iron bedstead, a corner block provided with a groove adapted to receive one side of one of the angle bars, said blocks cut away at the top to permit the upper portion of said angle bar to be substantially flush with the top of the block; means for securing said angle bar the block, said block also cut away to permit an angle bar placed at right angles to the first mentioned bar to rest beneath the first mentioned angle bar; with means for holding said last mentioned angle bar in position in the block.

In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
